Towards the half of ‘90 he enters in contact with the Bologna house-scene and in particular with the Pastaboys (first inspi- ration and good friends of DJ Rubini) and performs frequently at “Kinki”, historical and influential club of the underground dance movement. During the same period he plays in im- portant clubs like “Gatto e la Volpe” in Ferrara and “Pascià” in Riccione, continuing and increasing at the same time its activity in the North of Italy. In 1993 he found the City of Saint Studio, his recording studio and began networking with dif- ferent people from the music industry leading to a collabora- tion with Gabriel Covacich aka Glitch (Nano Rec) and to the Sub-7 project, signed by EMI with the track “Tokai”. Currently based in Berlin and inspired by the city’s explosive house scene and by the contact with artist like Dixon, Ame, Pho- nique, Lindstrom, Chateau Flight and Daniel Wang, he works from his new recording studio in Alexanderplatz at some disco-dub-house tracks. At the same time he organizes and plays number of events in Italy and abroad for Nano Rec, working partner in the Berliner experience. www.myspace.com/rubini Live Mawkish are three characters of the comics, tired of a two- dimensional and sadly flat life, are chasing the dream of ma- terialize in flesh and bones, and becoming the most famous band of the universe. From this new mix between reality and fantasy, real instru- ments and samples, the sound that came out is a sweet mix- ture of disco and funk boogie, as a comics you can bring them everywhere: they could came from your radio in the morning, be the ringing of the phone, the soundtrack of a journey by car, the start up of a party, the sound that remains in the lead after the big party when you get home. Spiller, the interplanetary renowned dj that, on the contrary, has the sole aspiration to become a comics character imme- diately felt in love for them and signed an exclusive remix with Glitch, the artist tip of Nano Records. Mawkish have already had several materialization around Italy with their colorful concerts where virtual disc samples are mixed with real brass, guitars and synth risen from the space age. www.myspace.com/themawkish Scratch and Turntablism Several times champion of Stars Discoteque Battle, Italian champion at the eliminations of DMC2001 and 4° classified at the ITF World Cup in Prague, Color opened in addition concerts for artists like Morcheeba, Vadim, Scratch Perverts, Elisa, DJ Qbert, Guru, De La Soul , DJ Kool Herk with his live performances.
